A few hours after General Manager Dale Tallon told the media that he acquired future Hall of Fame forward Jaromir Jagr to help bolster the Panthers' toothless offense for the playoff push, his team proved his reasoning was sound.
Unfortunately, Jagr and...

Jaromir Jagr hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1992. The Florida Panthers have never hoisted hockey's holiest grail, chasing it since their inception in 1993.
And now their paths will surprisingly align, with hope of completing those quests.
Chasing a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, the Panthers acquired Jagr — who turned 43 earlier this month — from the New Jersey Devils on Thursday for two draft picks, a second-rounder this year and either Florida or Minnesota's third-round...

While speculation swirls around Chris Bosh’s future with the Miami Heat star forward out for the season due to blood clots in his lungs, Tomas Fleischmann is another South Florida athlete who understands what it is like in that predicament.

Scouting report: The Panthers have scored just four goals in three straight losses but Tuesday's comeback 3-2 shootout defeat may actually boost their confidence in the rematch against the Blackhawks, who have beaten them six straight. The Blackhawks are 8-3 in shootouts which is part of former Panthers coach Kevin Dineen responsibility as an assistant for Chicago. Rookie G Scott Darling may be back in the...

Snapping a confidence-draining losing skid took a back seat to news that could affect the Blackhawks on a much grander scale.
During the Hawks' 3-2 shootout victory over the Panthers on Tuesday night at the United Center, winger Patrick Kane left the ice with an upper-body injury that a source familiar with the situation described to the Tribune as, “not good. At all.”
Another source said Kane will be sidelined for more than six weeks and possibly 10-plus weeks.
Coach Joel Quenneville...

Panthers General Manager Dale Tallon traded Sean Bergenheim before Tuesday’s game partly because the veteran requested it but mostly because he wants to showcase his young prospects.
Well, one of them, rookie center Vincent Trocheck, capped off a stirring third-period comeback but the Panthers ended up losing in a heartbreaking 3-2 shootout in a raucous United Center.
For a while, it looked like former Panthers wing Kris Versteeg would get the last laugh with what appeared to be a backbreaking...
